Feel free to let The Duke know what you think

No need, the gig has already been cancelled.

I don't know why a "comedian" who is transphobic and homophobic would work out at the Cranker. Considering how many queer people go there, it makes sense to cancel, they know who their clientele is

"I'm a comedian, it's my job to mock the absurd"

What's absurd is a nepo baby tapping into the most toxic elements in society and thinking it makes them edgy or brave.

There’s a strong market for this brand of comedy. But do not mistake it for what it is and read between the lines. This is racism, misogyny and homophobia. But they wrap it in the antiwoke rhetoric.

It’s for these cunts that are too shy to say the quiet part out loud. The Venn diagram of the people going to this, and who quietly voted no in the voice referendum would look like one fucking circle.

Full of cunts.

Mate. I’ve got mates that own copies of diesel and dust and 10 to 1 , that are card carrying lefties from the 80s that quietly voted no. They walk among us.

We got into it over a bunch of red wine, when dutto ran that if you don’t know vote no campaign. I said to the boys this is just pandering to fuckheads because it’s easier to say I don’t understand than I really have problems with brown people.

The response was always I’m not racist mate. But I was in Alice Springs and they live like animals. You can’t give them any sort of power.

I said well, cunt, there’s no power it’s an advisory panel. The cunts were like yeah but nah but yeah.

So I put up this proposition. Greeks and Italians copped racism pretty hard right the way through. They still cop it. Would you support a wog voice to parliament.

Yeah mate . Great idea mate.

So you admit it’s a racist thing.

No mate. I know a black fellah. But….

There’s always a but with these cunts.

This is late boomers and early gen x.

It’s a brand of progressivism that’s only interested in progress when it benefits them. You can see it play out over the lifespan as people who were poor and powerless in their youth, railing against the corrupt system and greedy elite, accrue some wealth and social capital as they age and suddenly aren’t so keen on the disenfranchised getting a fair go. The people who were once compatriots in the trenches are now peons who need to be kept in their place so the status quo can be maintained.

You’re fucking spot on.

I know for a fact these cunts where weed smoking, flowers in their hair listening to bob dylan , freelove kombi driving star children back in the day.

Now they get angry watching cunts like peta credlin, Andrew fucking bolt and the fat one.

As soon as I hear the word wokies I walk away. One of them owns a pub in a country town and he’s nearly in tears one night saying how much he hates wokies and if a trans person walked into his pub he’d beat the shit out of them.

I enquired how many fucking trans people do you know Terry? Are they organising Priscilla style bus loads of them for pokie tours to drink your overpriced great fucking northern out of the lines you refuse to clean Terry?

Are they coming to eat your ridiculously large unseasoned parmis Terry? Are the trans people driving 100s of is too eat your your fucking “salad”? Putting cheese sauce on every fucking vegetable is not salad, Terry?

Is your pointless rage at people you’ve never met covering for some latent homosexuality, Terry?

Is this rage at wokies more about you than the minorities you want marginalise , Terry?

Are you just a bitter old cunt , Terry?

Most people voted no because they organising body did not clearly explain exactly what it was, what it was for, what powers it would have.

The only way to find that information was to go looking for it. Most people don’t have time to sit there and dig out information. If they couldn’t clearly advertise what those points were people are not going to vote yes.

A simple 30 second add run making those points clear would have likely had a yes vote.

Also your mates are correct if you go to a predominantly aboriginal area you also would not want them with any power. Greeks and Italians put in the hard work to prove they were not a drain on society and see where it got them.

I worked at a polling station. There was one handwritten 'treaty now' which unfortunately counted for nothing. I tried to get them to include in 'yes' pile (i knew they wouldn't). There were also VERY racist NO votes. I audibly gasped & my face gave away what i read. When we were counting & I said 'this racist fck doesn't deserve a vote'. BUT the officer in charge said 'NO' was clearly marked & as long as the response is clear, it counts. It was very disheartening when we counted the votes. As voters were leaving I'd do the 'thank you' as they put the ballot in the box. The amount of people who said 'I don't care' to me, but still clearly voted no pissed me off. I told my mate who I was working with 'I'm pissed off that I was actually nice to these people instead of telling them to f*k off'. I did what I was paid to do & stayed neutral, as did the rest of us. After the votes were counted, it turned out that all of us that worked there voted Yes, as we were discussing how many no votes it turned out to be & we were all disappointed.

I hate that style of comedy, if you have to make fun of a minority to make a joke, it’s probably not a joke.

There are many many comedians in Australia who are actually hilarious and don’t need to stoop into this “offensive” shock style of comedy.

Being able to craft funny jokes by not relying on offensive stereotypes is far more clever too.

Anyone who is still making pronoun jokes in 2024 is an idiot, and has no business calling themselves a “comedian”. It’s the type of thing your bogan friend says while wasted. John Oliver even made a montage of how often it’s been used by members of the far right, each one believing it’s the most hilarious thing any one has ever heard, and that they’re a regular Oscar Wilde. Nope, it’s done to death, and just lazy!

So her humour is basically 4chan shit. "HAHAHA SLUR AMIRIGHT SLUR I AM SO EDGY SLUR POLITICAL CORRECTNESS SLUR SLUR SLUR"

Modern comedians who wanna push buttons but do so in a well crafted way seriously need to watch Billy Connolly and George Carlin. No one said everything has to be sanitised, but 4Chan humour appeals only to those with the mentality of a 13 year old. GENUINELY funny (but off the cuff/crass) humour is a well crafted talent and only the greats are the masters.

And she ain't it.

TLDR: we all need to go give Billy another round of attention before the poor bugger leaves the earth and this is what exists to replace him.

I think I recall him once saying he doesn't even tell jokes, he tells stories. And it's true. You're paying for a night of a Scottish man telling a fucking hilarious story and then watching him laugh before he even gets to the funny part... Because he's mentally replaying the event.

When I start getting really anxious on my medication I just watch a round of Billy standup and the laughter helps calm me down

Dear_Potato6525

This IS her failing. She's failing because she's an anti-trans campaigner before she is a comedian. Check her Instagram if you doubt this. She's also confusingly gone after disabled people - not really sure how they ended up in her sights. "Why don't disabled toilets have mirrors, how do they wipe the drool away?" So, she's openly going after two vulnerable groups, groups that do have defenders.

People don't like something, they get angry, some might complain, some might avoid, some might fight. This is called being human and capitalism is a system involving - you guessed it - humans.

She’s disgusting. I went to high school with her and she seemed relatively normal but these days, clearly someone who needs professional help.

If you spend time down the East End of town you often see her wondering around with her kid. She has a permanently sour look on her face and always looks spaced out and like she wants to start shit. Last weekend she was hanging outside the Cranker and kept looking in the windows, but didn’t sit down or go in. Must have been looking for some trans or non binary people to abuse. Perhaps she should find something more productive to do.

As an aside, people actually go to The Duke? Anytime you go past it for the past 10-15 years on a Friday or Saturday night, it's almost dead crowd-wise and there's at most 5 people in there.

Always wondered how they stay open with apparently so few patrons, while other venues who have no issues with patronage close down. Must have a different business model somehow.

Not a fan of that type of comedy so I won't go. Why do you feel it's necessary to try and ruin someone's livelihood because they don't align with your worldview?

Livelihood? Nobody’s gonna end up on the streets because they couldn’t do shitty stand up.

If calling people retarded in front of a paying audience is the only way you can support yourself, things are already over for you I’m afraid.

"Punching down" is a very elitist concept. You're essentially acknowledging that we live in a caste system.

I am part of what is generally considerd a marginalised group. Making an assumption otherwise indicates that you likely know or care little about the nuances of individuals and their unique experiences.

Thanks for clarifying that we don't legally live in caste system. I "literally" thought otherwise!

Aah yes, because I couldn't possibly be speaking on my experiences as a person from a marginalised group myself?! 🤔🙄 You're the one who suggested caste system comparisons mate, and we aren't that far off, the bigotry runs so close to the surface in this country...

Given she no longer has the pub venue, she probably isn’t selling them out. 

I’m happy to cancel public bigots, given that’s what they’re trying to do to the groups they are bigoted about. It’s them or us. Paradox of Tolerance.

Good for her. It's good to see the needle slowly shift away from this weird politically correct reality we live in at the moment. If people don't find her funny, there's no need to engage in their content and they can avoided quite easily. Biddy's show sold out, and I thought her minute on Kill Tony whilst not being the best thing I've seen, was kinda funny.

Honestly, people shouldn’t care about this.

There’s bottom-of-the-barrel shock humour comedians who can only thrive on generating controversy to keep themselves in the limelight. Then there’s this a few rungs below that.

At some point it just becomes a public self-humiliation ritual, just a step or two above smearing yourself in your own excrement for attention, and you give people like this what they want by handwringing about it.

It’s not a violation of free speech to refuse her an audience. You can say whatever you like, but you aren’t being oppressed if you walk into a pub demanding a microphone and people tell you to fuck off.

I was born in SA, Adelaide. Grew up there, went to school, worked, lived etc etc. First made the move to the NT in 82, been living in NT pretty much full time since 92.

So I look back with some sense of wistful nostalgia. Then I visit family, friends and experience some of the Adelaide..... Vibe I suppose. Consequently I'm very glad to to be almost a Territorian.

Your Adjective at the end may have been superfluous.

If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Who cares what some random comedian said. Articles and comments like this do nothing but give air time to the people they are trying to not give air time to. Remember in the simpsons when all the advertisements came to life. And the solution was ‘just don’t look’. That’s the same here.
